For anyone who hasn't heard this yet...it is amazing:
This is a GREAT concert (even though the spoken parts are in German). I was home a vacation visiting in-laws and was watching PBS and he was on there doing a concert for fund raising.
David Garrett is a fantastic violinist and I now have the DVD:
David Garrett Live - In Concert & In Private (2009). The songs vary from classical pieces to rock arrangements to the theme of Pirates of the Caribbean. I believe it is a full orchestra and contains electric and classical guitars and standard drums too.

Product Description
Performed in concert at Berlin's exquisite Tempodrom Arena in January of 2009, this DVD showcases David Garrett's unique and wholly individual style which pays as much homage to
Metallica as to
Bach. This concert covers an incredibly diverse selection of repertoire, representing David's love for many genres and his remarkable ability to tackle each with unsurpassed enthusiasm.
Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" is cleverly reinterpreted, as is
Queen's ballad, "Who Wants to Live Forever." AC/DC's "Thunderstruck" is given a memorable new twist, alongside "He's a Pirate" from "
Pirates of the Carribean." Given his enduring commitment to his first musical love, watch as David performs classical selections including the last movement of
Vivaldi's "Summer" from The Four Seasons, and Bach's "Air." Not to be satisfied with only imaginative covers, David also displays his own deft writing skills with notable originals, including "Chelsea Girl."
The sound quality is just amazing (DD 5.1) on my setup. If you like highly skilled musicians, you will love this disc.
I give it 5/5 for sound, skill, arrangements, and originality.
